It looks to me like the best hangover cure ever invented. I have to try that.

I should have linked to the recipes - I'll do it when I'm at home.Avocado and bacon are quite sublime together.

If they weren't poisonous, they'd pretty much be nature's perfect food. I could get sick of them really quick though if that's all I had to eat.
Lord Panda, you don't really need a recipe for those. The pics are pretty self explanatory. But, I can't believe I never thought of that or saw it before. That's an amazing breakfast. Thanks for opening my eyes.You just plunge into it with a spoon or knife and fork

Fuck yes, it's all true and all good.

Being Hispanic, Avocado is like the highlight of lunch. Almost a dessert in my eyes.

Why is palta great?
Consistency and texture mainly, there are even some crazies that eat it for dessert. You can literally mix palta with anything you like, it helps food to be together while not being sticky, you can cut it with shapes and it stays solid, you can mash it and it'll be malleable.
They say mexicans are the highest palta consumers in the world, but IMO they just like Guacamole, which is great and all, but the two times I've been there, there was literally no other use for palta, and the truth is that we chileans are the champions of palta.
But Palta has no flavour.
Yes, it's true, the flavor is not strong (although it is noticeable), but salt is by far the best palta companion, and ham is the second best.
Why is bread and palta mix soooo good?
Well, bread is kind of dry on it's own, so palta will give it the exact perfect consistency. If you like tomato in your bread, you'll know that it wets the bread too much, Palta fixes this and puts the right balance in the world.
Bacon Palta? great mix. Onion palta? great mix. Lettuce and palta? great mix. Hamburger and palta? Awesome.
How do you pick a palta? There are numerous types of palta, and it's not trivial how to choose. There are some that come with some sort of plant hair inside, and that sucks. You'll be safe with hass palta. If you are eating one today, you should check that it's not hard, but not too soft; if you buy a hard palta, it's best not to eat it until a week or so later.
So yeah, palta is awesome, and to those that haven't tried it, or only eat guacamole, you are missing out.

So weird that Peruvians call it Palta while everyone else call it Aguacate.

A Caribbean staple. So glad we have these at home. The best is when they're rip enough and have an almost buttery texture. Just slice it up and sprinkle a bit of salt (or not).
I love them. I hate having to pay $5 for 4 teeny ones in Canada when I can just go to my Nana's place at home and have as many as I want for free

@ Everyone saying they're plain or the texture is bizarre:
I used to think the exact same thing up until late High School. If I ever had anything with avocados in it at a restaurant, I would scoop them off. They just grossed me the hell out. 10 years later and I love them to death.
Thing is, you're eating the wrong ones and avocados are finicky. What got me into them was basically just eating the damn things room temperature with salt and lime juice as a side because I was living somewhere for a few weeks where that's what they ate almost every day. They used to grow them on a tree there and yep, big difference.
I don't eat them very often because they are indeed expensive, but fresh avocados are amazing and extremely healthy.

As a sushi chef, I go through about seventy of these a day.
Believe it or not, tempura avocado is SUPER good on vanilla ice cream. A tiny sprinkle of powdered sugar on the avocado after you cook it, and it's so decadent.

I was the same way, as a kid I thought they were weird but at some point I realized they are amazing.
I love putting fresh guacamole on sandwiches and burgers whenever I eat at home. I'm glad I live where they're reasonably affordable.

I'm not friends with people that don't like avocados.
